Concert etiquette prescribed by margazhi.org

A quietly tasteful initiative towards covering Chennai’s culture scene has been the portal www.margazhi.org, sponsored by Sarangi, a boutique specializing in Kanjivaram silks, located at Rasvihar, a renovated, redesigned house on Sterling Avenue, Nungambakkam, Chennai, which used to belong to the late Olympian and bureaucrat Eric Prabhakar. Among the interesting programmes sponsored by Rasvihar have been some of the OLI series of chamber concerts. Rasvihar owns the Sarangi brand, and here’s what Sarangi has to say about Margazhi.org:

Margazhi is an online platform created to bring together the culturally conscious – by integrating information, news, views and updates related to the Performing Arts such as Indian Music & Dance. It is a sponsored initiative of Sarangi and it began its existence with coverage of the Margazhi festival 2011-12 in Chennai.

The Oli Chamber Concerts at Rasvihar have been models of good taste, as can be gauged from the Margazhi dangler/ bookmark on concert etiquette we are happy to display here.
